Maggie Taylor

I met her today! Tonight was the reception and booksigning of the Maggie Taylor exhibit. She and Lola Haskins worked together to create the book, "Solutions Beginning with A." It's a very wonder full book with Maggie doing the images and Lola creating stories behind them. The show was amazing and if you have a chance to look at it, it's at the Modernbook Gallery in Palo Alto, 494 University Ave, from Sept 7- Oct 30. You can also check out www.modernbook.com/maggietaylor.htm.

I purchased a book and had it signed by the photographer and the author. I talked to Maggie about her work; how I really enjoyed it and that it doesnt seem like it's photoshop. Her husband is also a very famous photographer. He was doing what we do now in photoshop back in the 1970s in the dark room with about 10 projectors. Really amazing stuff. His name is Jerry Uelsmann. I stole two images from her site to share with you all so you can see her work. I feel bad about doing this, so I put on the images "copyright: Maggie Taylor" so the credit still goes back to her. I just want to share her work. If you want to see more, her website, it is http://www.maggietaylor.com/

This is an image from a new book that she is working on and will be out in June or July of next year. It is called "Almost Alice" and it looks like it will be a wonderful book. I can't wait to see it all complete.
